--you say, to paraphrase: (according to MMY, those are good words). But "You can not get enlightened" are your words, not his. He didn't often use the E word (if ever) in the context of a progression from CC -> BC -> UC; but he might have said something like: "You can reach Unity Consciousness". That being the case, MMY's teachings would conflict with your Neo-Advaitin nonsense.

Consciousness becomes conscious of its own consciousness and withdraws identity with any space/time experience. No-Self. No localization of consciousness. Weird as shit for the mind. "You" no longer exist, only consciousness within which everything occurs. > > Then you get 2nd stage enlightenment Grasshopper. Now you are everybody. Consciousness awakens to its bound value of space and time as simply consciousness. All moving within itself. From "here to here through there" according to Maharishi.
